## 🖥️ About
|
|
|
|
**DvorakMSDOS** simulates the look and feel of an old-school MS-DOS environment,
|
|
right inside your Windows command prompt — no emulator needed.
|
|
It boots straight into a login screen, drops you at a retro main menu, and
|
|
lets you launch apps, play quiz games, and browse "the web" — all without
|
|
leaving `.bat` files.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
2. **Double-click** `DvorakMSDOS.bat` (or run it from a command prompt).
|
|
3. The title bar will show you a helpful hint 😉
|
|
4. Log in and enjoy the ride.
|
|
|

> ⚠️ **Requires Windows** with a standard `cmd.exe` environment.

## 📌 Main Menu
|
|
|
|
After logging in, you land on the **Main Menu**, which gives you access to
|
|
four built-in applications:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
╔══════════════════════╗
|
|
║ MAIN MENU ║
|
|
╠══════════════════════╣

║ [1] App 1 ║

║ [3] App 3 ║
|
|
║ [4] App 4 ║
|
|
╚══════════════════════╝
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each app is a self-contained batch module — lightweight, fast, and very retro.
